6:46 am
veteran officers having several years or more and here is one man's opinion on that. >> the veteran officers, you know they have probably seen a lot and you know, i can understand they might be fed up with certain things due to being on the job and certain stresses, it is not police work by any means and they need to bring more than they have. they need to have a policy reinstated where they document the race and ethnicity of everyone searched at traffic stops. coming up on mornings on 2 we will tell you about the biggest complaint on veteran officers, janine de la vega ktvu channel 2 morning news. in just about an hour from now a ritual begins and as brian flores explains, it
